Description:

This is an Imperial Quart utility jar produced by Kilner Bros (C B K). Base embossed with unrecorded Mold Number 4176, which is not in standard Kilner typologies most examples fall in the 1–2000 range. This 4000-series mark indicates a specific private contract run, possibly a mold specific for Crosse & Blackwell export trade.

Condition Note:

This is an un-dug shelf survivor. It retains its original factory luster. There is a horizontal content stain running from the midpoint of the base to the shoulder. This lay-down line indicates the jar was stored horizontally for a long duration with its original contents.

• Base: Embossed C B K with 4176. Smooth base

• Glass: Aqua with an elongated air bubble in the base.
